There are many funicular railways, which are commonly known as cliff railways, this website has detailed descriptions about the ones that I know about in the UK and the Isle of Man. Thanks to all those who have helped me with my research and let me use their pictures and info. I am starting to put inclines on my website and I would welcome any other UK submissions.

There are currently plans for two new funiculars, one in Launceston which is the resurection of the North Cliff lift removed from Scarborough, the other is a new development in Dudley Zoo. There are plans for the restoration of the Clifton Rocks Railway in Bristol and restoration has already started on the second Leas lift in Folkestone.

The only cable hauled tramway is the Great Orme Tramway although there are some remnents of other sytems still preserved.

Both Mine and Canal Inclines

An Incline is a prepared slope on which rails are laid to enable early tramroads and railways to negotiate a steep gradient which materials were hauled by rope. There have been many inclines in the UK manly associated with mining operations.
